PORTABLE STOVE AND BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 572,908, dated December 8, 1896. Application iiled October 9, 1894. Serial No. 525,427. (No model.)

T0 all wtom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN P. PETERS, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a certain Improved Portable Stove and Burner, of which the following is a speciiication.

The obj eet of my invention is to so construct a lamp and portable stove for burning spirits, such as alcohol, that it will be perfectly safe and will produce a strong flame, and that can be packed into a small compass when not in use.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a View in perspective of my improved portable stove packed ready to be carried. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation showing the stove closed, as in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aview showing the stove extended. Fig. 4. is a perspective View of the lamp I prefer to use in the stove, and Fig. 5 is an inverted perspective view of the name-chamber.

A is the casing, perforated at a for the passage of air to aid combustion. Within the casing is mounted the lamp B, having a base b containing the alcohol or other spirits. The bottom A' of the easing is made water-tight, so that the lamp-base can rest in water and thus be cooled to a certain extent.

t The lamp is constructed as follows:

D is a tubular stem screw-threaded at its lower end and adapted to a screw-threaded projection on the bottom of the base b, so that it will be iixed in position in respect to the base.

CZ is a head mounted on the tubular stem and having an orice cl for the escape of gas formed in the gaschamber d2 in the upper portion of the stem D. In the lower portion of the stem is a wick cl3, through which the alcohol is conveyed to the gas-chamber d2. The opening d4 in the stem allows the alcohol to pass to the wick.

E is a screw-threaded tubularwick holder adapted to screw-threads in the casing of the lamp, and between this tubular-wick holder and stem D is a tubular wick e, the burningsurface of which is regulated by raising or lowering the tubular-wick holder E.

The wick e is ignited by a match or other means, and the iiame from the wick heats the gas-chamber cl2, and after a certain time a combustible gas will pass through the opening d in the head d and combine with the iiame of the wick, forming an intense iiame which draws its supply of oxygen through the perforations a of the casing. Thus I am enabled in a very short time to provide a flame which will quickly boil or heat the oontents of any vessel placed above it.

The head CZ preferably extends over the tubular wick, as shown in Fig. 3, and the Wickholder E is preferably tapered at the top, so that it will close tight upon the head CZ and prevent leakage through the tubular wick when the lamp is pt icki-id.`

Mounted on the head d is a flame-chamber II, having perforations h in its base for the passage of the flame from the tubular wick e and perforations h in its side for the ingress of air to aid combustion.

Adapted to the casing are a series of clips or brackets I, having U-shaped portions t', which pass over the edge of the casing A, and portions vl", upon which rests the vessel J to be heated.

I provide an extension of the casing A in the form of a cylindrical shell A2,which rests upon the clip I, as shown in Fig. 3. The shell A2 is made less in diameter than the casing A, so that it can be slipped within the casing, as shown in Fig. 2. The vessels J J are also less in `diameter than the casing, so that they can be packed therein with the covers J2 and cups K, together with the handle j for the cooking vessel.

Vhen the articles are packed, the larnp is closed by a cover B', as shown in Fig. 2, so that the alcohol or other spirits will not evapcrate.

The casing A is provided with handles c c, which are pivoted at c to the casing and can be extended, as shown in full lines in Fig. l, or closed against the casing, as shown by dotted lines in said figure.

By the peculiar construction and arrangement of the lamp very little alcohol is required.

It will be understood that the utensils packed with the stove may be varied Without departing from my invention.

I claim as my inventionl. The combination in a lamp of the central stem having a head forming a gas-cham ber at its upper end, an outlet for said cham- IOC 3. The combination of the casing, air-inlet openings therein, a lamp Within the casing, clips adapted to the casing, an additional casing mounted on the clips, said clips being formed to receive a cooking vessel, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speciication in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

JOHN P. PETERS.
